Learning objectives
Knowledge and understanding.
Students need learn the fundaments of the structure and component of the anatomy of the different organs in the adult;
Applying knowledge and understanding
Students must use acquired knowledge to recognize gross anatomy, position of organs in anatomical models.
Making judgments
Ability to reason about the correlation between structure and function of an organ.
Communications skills
Ability to understand and be understood in technical situations
Learning skills
Ability to summarize a scientific paper published on anatomy journal and to write a scientific progress report
